Serie A: Cagliari vs Milan 02/01/2026

Betting on the Full-Time Result

Milan arrive in Cagliari as clear favourites for this Serie A clash. The Rossoneri sit near the top of the table with 35 points after 16 rounds (10-5-1, goal difference 27:13) and currently boast the best away record in the league. On the other hand, Cagliari are down in 14th place with 18 points (4-6-7, 19:24) and come into this match in visibly poor form.

The home side are seriously weakened – Belotti, Felici, Folorunsho, Mina and Zappa are unavailable, while Rodríguez and Mina remain doubtful, and the defence has looked extremely fragile for weeks. Milan also have some injury issues (Gabbia and Leão, although the Portuguese winger has returned to training), but their attacking quality remains at a high level: Pulisic, Theo Hernández, Morata and Loftus-Cheek should be more than capable of punishing this Cagliari side. On top of that, Milan are unbeaten in their last 15 head-to-head meetings (11 wins and 4 draws).

On paper, this could look like a potential “trap” for tipsters and bettors, but the gap in form and quality is too big to ignore. A Milan victory, with a likely scoreline of 1–2, appears to be the logical outcome, and odds around 1.62 offer solid value for an away win.
